HIGHLIGHTS The stricter application of the 30 days rule following pre-registration for temporary protection status continues to have positive impacts in the second quarter. If no action is taken by the security apparatus, the pre-registered individuals are automatically cleared at the end of 30 days and show as registered. This has led to a 117% reduction nationally in the registration backlog between March and June 2017 in the ten provinces in SE. Prioritisation of newly born children and school age children (primary and secondary education) through the Governorate’s approval continue in the provinces despite lack of consistency in procedures followed. For those already registered, the DGMM registration verification project is continuing to roll out, with zones three and four (of seven) now reached and 215,751 individuals’ information verified at end of June 2017. Actors have been working together to strengthen NGO and government partners’ capacity to identify children with serious protection concerns and refer them to specialized protection services. UNICEF conducted a training of trainers workshop for over 60 staff from I/NGOs who have been assigned to outreach teams operating in eight provinces. These outreach teams are responsible for conducting household visits to the most vulnerable families in order to identify and refer at-risk children to relevant services and authorities and are expected to reach over 20,000 children in refugee populated provinces. Child Protection Sub-working Group members in southeast have adapted the global child protection risk assessment matrix to the Turkey context, which will harmonize actors’ risk-level classification and bring attention to the high risk categories. The adapted matrix will replace the global tool in the UNHCR best interest procedures training package in Turkey.

CHALLENGES Humanitarian organizations continue to face restrictions on obtaining permissions to operate and conduct both outreach and center-based protection activities during the second quarter. The impact can be seen through 3RP partner reporting in ActivityInfo. Of 37 protection activity indicators: 24 indicators (65%) have seen a drop in the number of partners reporting activities between the first and second quarter; and 20 indicators (54%) have seen in a drop in the number of provinces covered during the same time period. Although factors like the Eid holidays played a role, community centres and outreach activities were affected by the operational constraints, with four reporting partners closing or suspending community centre activities. Between January and May 2017, the monthly average number of individuals benefiting from community centres was 61,272, but in June only 41,345 individuals were reported as receiving such benefits. For the number of individuals reached through information and awareness initiatives, the January to May monthly average was 8,312, while in June the number of individuals reached was just 1,845. We will be watching to see if numbers rebound in Q3. Despite improvements in registration, a significant backlog still exists with approximately 81,977 ‘pre-registered’ Syrians waiting for registration. In Gaziantep, only ‘priority cases’ are being pre-registered at present, leaving no pathway to registration for all other unregistered Syrians living in the province and effectively barring their access to essential services, including the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN).
